A VERY UNIQUE way to see MOUNT RUSHMORE in South Dakota! A GLIDE up…A SLIDE DOWN!!!! WEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

in #travel7 years ago

We have two boys, 5 & 7 years old…we know that you are thinking! And we are fulltime on the road, so homeschooling and visiting famous landmarks is a must! Up to yesterday we had done our fair share of research on Mount Rushmore so when we pulled in…or I should say…went under this amazing Tunnel Rock Bridge…

and came into this quaint Town of Keystone…(The Sturgis Festival is going on as you can see!!!)

...we decided last minute to see our President’s Faces a little differently. At 5 and 7 years old, it’s what you DO while learning that will keep memories forever! So…we decided to take a GONDOLA UP to view the ROCK and as a way of getting down from the lookout, take a CART SLIDE!!!!

On the Gondola and having the “Best Day Ever!”

BIG clouds in the grey sky, but warm and a great view!

Kids LOVING It!

We go right over our way down…how thrilling!!!

Then…we SPOTTED Mt. RUSHMORE!!!

We didn’t expect to see so many trees until we discovered it was in the Black Hills!

Off & at the TOP for some lookout time!!

NOW THE SUPER FUN TIME!! Sliding down!!

RIDE ALONG WITH US AS WE SLIDE DOWN IN THIS VIDEO!

SEE YA AT THE BOTTOM!!

Stay tuned for more of our North America ROAD TRIP Adventures!!

We have never seen anything like it...kind of like Bobsledding...without the snow!! We were going so fast!

Absolutely....

looks like you are having a great time :)
